How quickly my headspace has changed. Today everything is wrong. The kids are really bugging me. My 2-year-old son is on a whining and complaining bender. My 6-year old needs my attention too, but I need some time today...

This is my beautiful mess. No matter how hard I try to keep my vanity neat and tidy, it always ends up looking like a disaster. It was clean yesterday and this is what it looks like today. It can actually get a lot worse than this.

"A Beautiful Mess, Embrace your Story" is next year's theme for my MOPS (Mother's of Preschoolers) group, which is "the bomb" by the way-- but more on that later. I love, love this phrase because it tells me...

I spent my Mother's Day in urgent care, making sure my persistent cough hadn't progressed into pneumonia-- which it hadn't, thank God! Not the most enjoyable way to spend the day, but despite the chest x-ray and nebulizer treatments, this may be my favorite Mother's Day yet...

About Me

I am a grateful, exhausted mother of 2 boys. Married 12 years. Had a 12-year career as a writer/producer of documentary television, which I stopped to be home with my kids. I have always thought I would eventually go back to work, but somehow it hasn't happened yet. I am also a compulsive overeater and sugar addict.
